The divorced and bereaved can marry again depending on the age of them. On the death of the father, sons inherit the property with the oldest son becoming in charge of the home. They are landowners and work mostly in agriculture. They are reasonably well educated and use modern medicines and family planning. Hinduism is their religion.
